I think it can go either way, but for non-fan purposes it would be a lot better to have Organic web-shooters.

How would people feel about seeing Spidey use his web to create things?
In the comics he's made parachutes, shields, skis, replacement masks, air bags to breath underwater and even a small raft.
I could buy that he could make a parachute. He is able to adjust the nozzle on his webshooters and could make the webbing either thicker or thinner. But all that other stuff is way too cartoonish. Even the parachute would be pushing it.
In the Iron Man movie, Tony Stark built a circuit board at age four and an engine at age six. I have yet to hear anyone complain about how "unrealistic" that was.
So it's okay for 6-year-old Tony Stark to build an engine, but it's not okay for 15-year-old Peter Parker to develop a mechanical device that shoots adhesive fluid at the touch of a button?
Okay then.
Agreed. You left out the required chemicals, though.It's a fair question, but I think what makes this not exactly correct is that Tony Stark was a filthy rich kid that made things that weren't exactly "new". I mean, he didn't INVENT the engine, nor did he do it in his bedroom from scratch. He was smart, but smarts don't make engine blocks appear out of thin air. With a good book, you could build a circuit board from parts at your local radio shack. The thing is, you don't have to suspend any disbelief at all for those examples. There isn't anything "unrealistic" about it. Especially if you have unlimited cash and resources.
Parker, on the other hand, is a poor kid with no access to high tech equipment or materials. His web shooters are one of a kind. There's nothing like them out there. I don't necesarily disagree with what you're trying to say, but this comparison doesn't really work IMO.
it's a very small detail. So long as they work the same way as in the comics.
